Yes: $ git rev-parse HEAD~$N >> .git/info/grafts $ git filter-branch HEAD This assumes that your history is strictly linear and you do not have tags.

For this reason, don't share this repository with anyone - it leads to confusion. -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
